Before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mother, chatting to other women about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not get together with 2 other women, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at Sunrise Fishing Club & Bar (which is in DELAND, FL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from day one but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water ways. Organic products are grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can buy organic baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find designers completely devoted to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
